View Silver Grapple in the store

Years have passed beneath the ground where the old lab rests. Just reopened, employees now trickle in sent to fix and refurbish the old site, left unattended since it was mysteriously shut down.

Amongst them, you are sent to help sort the junk and clear the way. You explore the floor, fix up the area and proceed deeper, past offices, through blast doors and into the research grounds until, suddenly, violent quakes rock the lab and throw you into the rubble!

Buried underground and separated from your team in the jagged ruins, now it's up to you to find a way out, help whoever you meet and uncover the mysteries behind the old facility.

Silver Grapple has been in development since 2012 attempting to create a flowing, fast paced platforming experience reminiscent of retro sidescrollers with a modern mechanic. Silver Grapple is about swinging through the air with a grappling hook, exploring the ruins of a disaster struck laboratory and uncovering its secrets.

Things I like: the flipping animation; grapple mechanic; potential for speedruns; meat boy-level difficulty; and what looks like a rewindy quick-restart thing. Looks like some serious flow state stuff is going on already.

Might able to push the mechanics further with more involved physics—right now it looks like acceleration and speed and such are pretty fixed. Maybe mid-swing the rope can hit other objects to create more complicated moves (although you'd probably have to seriously robustify your rope model to do this). Titanfall 2 has this stuff in its grapple mechanics, along with reel-in, that makes swinging around super nuanced and skill-intensive. But maybe I'm missing the point/asking your game to be something different than what it is.

Silver Grapple has been Greenlit and is now listed in the Steam store. For the latest information, purchase options, and discussions for Silver Grapple, please see it on the Steam Store or in the Steam Community.
